The difference between boys & girls...

When Charter was a baby, i remember one day, him pulling himself up to the window & making BROOMMMMMM BROOM noises excitedly as he watched a loader & bobcat drive past. Cai ran to the window to see what he was looking at & exclaimed, "awwwwww, a mommy & a baby bobcat!!"

This difference was illustrated to me again this week. i was sitting on the couch with Charter doing school & in his lesson, there was a 3 frame cartoon. He was supposed to insert the dialogue for the characters. The first frame had a dog talking to a cat, the second was the cat talking to the dog & the third was the dog talking to the cat again. Charter knew instantly what he was supposed to do before i even explained his lesson. He started shouting, "THAT FIRST PICTURE, THE DOG IS SAYING, 'I'M GONNA BEAT YOU UP!!!' & IN THE SECOND ONE THE CAT IS SAYING, 'OK' & IN THE THIRD ONE, THE DOG SAYS, "WHAT??!!" & then Molls piped up.... "nononononononononoooooooo!! In the first one, the dog says, 'will you marry me and be my wife?' & in the second one, the cat says, 'yes!' & in the third one, the dog says, 'yay!!'
